Bundesliga leaders Bayern Munich must deliver a winning performance at Freiburg on Saturday to bounce back instantly from Wednesday's Champions League loss at Feyenoord, coach Vincent Kompany said on Friday.

Bayern Munich's hopes of automatically qualifying for the UEFA Champions League quarter-finals are hanging by a thread after a shock loss to Feyenoord.

FreiburgFreiburg have experienced a couple of disappointing results since they started 2025 with a 3-2 home win over Holstein Kiel. They fell to a 4-1 defeat to Eintracht Frankfurt at Deutsche Bank

Feyenoord take on Bayern Munich on Wednesday, Jan. 22, at De Kuip Stadium. Kickoff is set for 9 p.m. CET local time in the Netherlands. That makes it a 8 p.m. GMT start in the UK, a 3 p.m. ET or 12 p.m. PT kickoff in the US and Canada, and a 7 a.m. AEDT start time in Australia on Thursday morning.

Bayern Munich should have scored in their 3-0 loss at Feyenoord in the Champions League, coach Vincent Kompany said on Wednesday after his team had 32 efforts on goal and enjoyed close to 70% possession.

On balance, it is a frustrating result for Bayern Munich, especially as the performance saw some long lost problems resurface.

Speaking ahead of tomorrow’s game, Vincent Kompany said (ht: iMiaSanMia): “We’ve got final training later and then we’ll know more. Phonzy is injured, Konrad Laimer is suspended. João Palhinha and Sacha Boey could come in to the equation and we need to see how the others react.”

The January transfer window is heating up as it approaches the final manic few days of player trading. Arsenal are strongly expected to sign a new forward in the closing stages of the month and recent reports in fact suggest the Gunners are confident that RB Leipzig star and Wolves attacker Matheus Cunha are eager to join Mikel Arteta’s team.

Bayern Munich star Alphonso Davies has been ruled out with a hamstring injury as he edges closer to signing a contract extension.

All of a sudden, Bayern Munich’s hot start to the second half of the season was squelched by Feyenoord and coach Vincent Kompany is seeking to pick up the pieces as his squad heads into the Black Forest to face SC Freiburg on Saturday — a task he knows will not be easy.

Bayern Munich manager Vincent Kompany has urged his players to deliver a winning performance when the Bundesliga leaders face Freiburg on Saturday. Kompany’s side had fallen to a 3-0 defeat to Feyenoord in the Champions League in the midweek – a result that dented their chances of a top eight finish in the league phase
